What One Person Can Do

Originally published by the West Coast Libertarian Foundation in the newsletter of the Greater Vancouver Libertarian Association in April 1981.

Leader’s Report, January 2019

by Don Wilson, Party Leader Wow, I can’t believe January is already over! It feels like just yesterday that we were all overstuffing ourselves and cramming in endless Christmas parties! It’s been quite the January, both for me and for the Party! First up, and most importantly to me (sorry guys) I became a father for the first time on January 18, 2019. Little Natalia is a total delight. She and Julia are doing marvelously…

What’s Wrong with the CleanBC Plan

by Clayton Welwood, 2017 candidate for North Vancouver-Seymour From a political point of view, there’s much to dislike about carbon taxes.

BC is a Resource Economy

"BC is blessed with abundance. Our province is built upon these great resources. Apathy or denial of this reality only hurts British Columbians today and our children tomorrow. A BC Libertarian government firmly stands for responsible development of a robust and sustainable resource economy."

End ICBC

“ICBC’s insurance business is a Frankenstein that combines the worst parts of public and private sector organizations. It is no wonder that 78% of British Columbians favour more competition and consumer choice in car insurance."

Shrinking and Decentralizing Government

"BC is on the superhighway to ever larger and intrusive government - a freeway with no exit ramps. The only escape where British Columbians are given back control of their life is a U-turn with a BC Libertarian government."

Abolishing The Liquor Distribution Cartel

"The provincial government artificially raises the prices of beer, wine and spirits by up to 170% their original price. Further, The Cannabis Act creates a new state oligopoly in the production of marijuana, this hurts businesses and consumers alike."

Effective Cannabis Legalization

Adapting to a Changing Climate

“A BC Libertarian environmental policy is built upon a foundation of best evidence, the least disruption to how British Columbians live, and TRULY safeguarding our natural surroundings. Present policy has failed on all these fronts spectacularly."

Lowering Taxes for Every British Columbian

“The BC Libertarian Party policies target the taxes paid most often by average British Columbians. Our policies combine to reduce total taxes and fees paid by an average family of 4 by over $5000 annually."

About

The BC Libertarian Party was founded in 1986 to advocate for individual liberty, low taxes, free markets and social tolerance. We believe that all citizens should be free to seek their own interests, so long as they never harm another person while doing so. We also uphold that free economies lead to prosperity.

Towards this ends, the only proper role of government is to protect our life, liberty, and right to pursue happiness.
